cantor could be playing the long game, and this is what jim wrote in "the guardian." cantor doesn't have to vie for the top job now. more than four years passed between when newt gingrich led the revolt against the 1990 tax increase and when he took over the leadership from bob mitchell who dutyfully supported his president in raising taxes. so can't cantor just say to the tea party members, i'm juror friend, i'm going to back you guys on all these issues, and just wait for boehner to fall apart? >> absolutely. i mean, the internal politics of the caucus, right, are totally different than the external politics of an election or the campaign. it's not the american voters who elect these guys. it's a majority of the caucus. so he has to play to those people for the long-term, and he can. i believe speaker boehner may even have been one of the ground troops in the coo for gingrich back in the day. i can't remember. it's amazing history kind of repeats itself. >> right. we are going to take a break and go right back to what's happening in the senate. this is the swearing

in many ways his story was more the norm than the exception, because under the jim crow laws, african-americans had been persecuted for years. but what was unique was that there were published pictures of his body. his mother did something that inspires awe. she allowed "jet" magazine to photograph his brutalized body. there was controversy about her decision and the decision to publish the photographs, and those pictures galvanized a nascent movement. "jet" magazine reported continually on the case for years afterwards. i am telling you this story today, because "jet" magazine is shining a much needed spotlight on the killing of a young black boy whose name might otherwise be forgotten, jordan davis, the young boy who was shot to death after the motorist complain ed about a loud music that a motorist was complaining about next to him in a suv. dunn may claim protection under the florida's stand your ground law. and "jet" magazine explores the details of the night that took his life, but introduces us to a 17-year-old who loved to fish with his dad and inspired to be a marine and about to start
